The followers of Prophet Nuh (A)
were noble Muslims who settled down in Arabia
and lived pious lives. But, as time went by,
some of their children drifted away from the
way of Islam.

They
forgot the guidance of Allah and began worshipping
idols, drinking alcohol, gambling, and cheating each
other.One group of Nuhs (A) descendants was
called Ad. Instead of Allah, the Ad
prayed to many different idols. They believed that
each idol fulfilled a different need.

According to them, all
the powers that really belong to Allah (SWT) were
divided among these many gods. And instead of
worshipping Allah (SWT) alone, they worshipped
different gods all at the same time. They believed
that their idols given them everything.

The people of Ad
were tall, handsome, and strong people. They were
excellent architects and skilled engineers. They
liked to build castles and magnificent buildings, and
they planted beautiful gardens and orchards. But they
didn't realize that their abilities and the natural
resources around them were gifts . In spite of all
these gifts from Allah(SWT), they denied His power.
Even though the people of Ad were great
builders, they had no morals.
